We compare a linear programming model written using Julia/JuMP with the same model written using Python/Pyomo.
The selection of a better fantasy sports team can substantially improve performance. Excel plus OpenSolver can pick an optimal team.
Minimize the number of racks to store all pallets in a warehouse, freeing space for other activities and allowing company growth.
Designing an optimization model is difficult. This article explains common mathematical notation used to define optimization model formulations.
We've collated many interesting optimization models in our GitHub repository. The focus is on Excel and Python models.
We present an example of project crashing using an optimization model to help the project manager decide what to do.
Academic research papers can be tremendously valuable. But only if they are complete. So, academics, please publish your data and code.
We replicate a wood cutting pattern model from a published academic paper. Surprisingly, we find a better optimal solution.
We estimate the speed improvement for optimization solvers in the 35 years from 1989 to 2024. The results may be surprising.
Formulating logic conditions in linear programs can be difficult. This two-part article series explains how, using easy to follow steps.
Sometimes we need more power to solve a model. This article describes how to solve a model using the CPLEX solver via the NEOS Server.
